Try this beautiful problem from AMC 10. It involves geometry of triangles. We provide sequential hints so that you can try the problem.

## What are we learning ?

Competency in Focus: Divisibility This problem from American Mathematics contest (AMC 8, 2017) is based on the concept of divisibility .

## Next understand the problem

Let $Z$ be a 6-digit positive integer, such as 247247, whose first three digits are the same as its last three digits taken in the same order. Which of the following numbers must also be a factor of $Z$? $(A)11\qquad(B)19\qquad(A)101\qquad(A)111\qquad(A)1111$

##### Suggested Book

Do you really need a hint? Try it first!
Take $Z$ as $\overline{\rm ABCABC}$.
Calculate the alternating sum of the digits. i.e., $A-B+C-A+B-C=0$ then it is dibisible by $11$
